A head gasket assembly for closely adjacent cylinder bores and method of making the assembly. In the zone of adjacency of the combustion openings in the gasket assembly, part of the gasket body material is absent. Adjacent armoring is joined to form a bridge at the zone of adjacency. The armoring has wires which are substantially greater in thickness than the gasket body material. When the gasket assembly is pre-compressed and compressed in use, the wires in the zone of adjacency are deformed into sealing engagement with each other. |
